Life is full of strange questions, to which it is difficult to find the answer. It is your estimate will be the final product may not be entirely wrong. This is interesting to investigate and in particular to guess.

@Jypyä Pop: Oh yes, life would be so boring if there weren't these odd things lying around!

Not red poo, but red puke(Kinda!) Owls in particular will eat food and then eject the inedible parts (Feathers, bones, hard seeds) in a pellet from their mouth. The unusual thing here is that some of the red flesh has been ejected as well, normally it would have been dissolved in the birds stomach acid.

@CElliottUK: Why didn't I think of owls and their puke? Maybe cause last time I heard about it was when I was around 10 years old and that was very long time ago. :)
I might have to go back and take a closer look to one of these if the rain ever stops and there is even one left in the field - I want to see if there are bones hidden in there!
Thank you!

they are attracted to red and will peck it. they will go for another hen if it's bleeding so if one has an injury, you need to put gentian violet on any wound to cover up the blood. it has been known for a flock of hens to peck an injured one to death. bet celiotec didn't know that!

@Sally: Wow, again I learned something new!
I hope Mr. Elliott tells us if he knew that or not...
